Official connection software for Trezor hardware wallets
Trezor Bridge is an official background application that enables secure communication between your web browser and your Trezor hardware wallet. Because modern browsers restrict direct access to USB devices, Trezor Bridge acts as a trusted intermediary that allows your wallet to interact safely with web-based wallet interfaces.
The software is designed to maintain the highest security standards while providing a smooth and reliable connection. At no point does Trezor Bridge store private keys, recovery seeds, or sensitive user data.
When accessing your Trezor wallet through a browser, a secure communication layer is essential. Trezor Bridge ensures that your device can be detected and used without compromising security.
Once installed, Trezor Bridge runs quietly in the background. When you connect your Trezor device to your computer via USB, the Bridge detects it and makes the connection available to supported web applications.
All sensitive actions, such as transaction approvals, must be confirmed physically on the Trezor device screen, ensuring that control always remains in your hands.
Trezor Bridge and Trezor Suite serve different purposes within the Trezor ecosystem.
Users who rely on the Trezor Suite desktop app may not need Trezor Bridge, while browser-based users often do.
Trezor Bridge is typically required when using your hardware wallet with web interfaces or when your browser does not support direct device communication.
Trezor Bridge is compatible with major operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and Linux. It works with popular browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge, providing broad accessibility for users.
Security is a core principle of Trezor Bridge. The software never stores private keys or recovery phrases and does not track user activity. All cryptographic operations are performed securely on the Trezor hardware wallet.
Trezor Bridge will never ask for your recovery seed. Any website or software requesting your seed is not legitimate.
Trezor Bridge is a vital component for users who access their Trezor hardware wallet through a web browser. By providing a secure and reliable communication layer, it ensures compatibility without compromising security.
When used correctly, Trezor Bridge enhances both usability and safety, staying true to Trezor’s mission of giving users complete control over their digital assets.
